Courtroom narrative

A courtroom narrative refers to the way a story or sequence of events is presented during a trial. It involves how lawyers, witnesses, and judges organize and communicate the facts, evidence, and legal arguments to create a coherent story about what happened. This narrative helps jurors and judges understand the case, identify key issues, and determine guilt or innocence. Effective courtroom narratives are clear, logical, and supported by evidence, guiding the trier of fact to see the case in a way that aligns with the legal questions at hand.
